Inventor: SCHROEDER FREDERICK WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-07-05
Granted: 1906-06-14
Abstract: 13,869. Schroeder, F. W. July 5. Billiards and like games.-Instead of the soft leather tips of cues being cemented to a hard backing which is itself cemented to the cue, the tips 4, Fig. 1, are connected to backings 2 by cementing, and also by means of wires or threads d. The threads d are twisted together and embedded in plastic material, which is moulded to a conical shape, so as to be received by a conical recess in the cue, which is preferably stepped, as shown, in order to prevent splitting of the cue. The plastic material is warmed before being fixed in the recess, cement being applied if necessary. The tip 4 may be stitched through its backing 2 to a piece of fabric, which is embedded in a plastic cone; or a net of cord or thread, which is to be embedded in the cone, may be cemented to the backing 2, which is sewn to the tip. Further, to prevent the cue from splitting, a sleeve may be forced into the end of the cue around the stepped recess.

Abstract: 25,429. Kelly, W. F. Nov. 12. Gas and like engines, igniting in. A combined terminal and switch is described for use with sparking-plugs. A sheet-metal bracket M, Fig. 3, is securely held over the conductor K of the plug E by the nut k, and is cut away to form lugs m which support the spindle F. To this spindle is hinged the metal portion A, which comprises the switch tongue B and socket N for the insulated high-tension cable G, Fig. 1, or the handle H, Fig. 2. In the latter case, a clamp L for the wires is employed. By sliding the piece A over the spindle F against the spring f, and turning it by the parts G or H, it can be placed in either of the slots C, D in the bracket M, so that the tongue B is held either in contact with the metal body of the plug or clear of this part. In a modification, the socket and clamp for the wires are formed in one with the bracket, and the cutout tongue is mounted on a separate spindle carried by the bracket and is provided with an insulating-handle. The above devices form convenient means for testing the sparking of each plug and the continuity of the sparking-system.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Winding the Bobbins of Twist Lace Machines.
Inventor: REDFERN WALLIS
Filed: 1908-01-21
Granted: 1908-10-29
Abstract: 1441. Redfern, W. Jan. 21. Lace bobbins, winding.-Machines for winding yarn on the bobbins of twist-lace machines are provided with automatic means whereby the operator is prevented from allowing a less amount of yarn to be wound on the bobbins than that for which the machine is set. An indicator hand C is connected to one clutch member A while the other member B is connected to a worm-wheel F, driven from the measuring spindle. During the winding operation, the clutch members A, B are locked together by a lever G, the other end G<1> of which curves over a pin K<2> on a stop-lever K. The lever K is moved outwards to stop the machine when the required length of yarn has been wound, by a cam J secured to a clutch member L provided with a small dial or pointer L<2>. The pin K<2> then operates to release the clutch members A, B from the lever G so that the indicator hand C can be returned to zero, whereupon the end G<5> of the lever G drops into a notch O in the clutch A. Meanwhile, the lever K is locked in position by a stop-lever M', the other end M of which is tripped by a stud N as the clutches A, L return to the original position, thereby releasing the lever K from the stop M<1>. The return of lever K releases the lever G, which then locks the clutch members A, B.
